This is the second time in as many months that the Republican Congressional members committed a treasonous act. No "border" to it. They interfered in an area that the Constitution clearly relegates to the executive branch. Not only that, but in the case of Iran, they attempted to negotiate with a foreign power behind the President's back. Nuclear decisions belong to the President....only he can unlock the nuclear black box....or is it red(?). Foreign relations belongs to the President. A Harry Truman would have subpeonaed every last signatory to the Iran letter and charged them with treason if not sedition. Outrageous!
No. Obama already looks like a fool to international community. The GOP's letter looks like what it was---an attention getting stunt. America's credibility is pretty much shot anyway.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
—Dean Baker, economist and author of Plunder and Blunder, False Profits, and Taking Economics Seriously
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
—Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
—John Perkins, author of the New York Times bestselling book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
